Ported is not legal in USPSA Limited Optics but would be in IDPA Carry Optics

Patriot Defense makes a billet extractor but I don't know if they are able to export it to your country.

Probably never, they are protecting people with 1911s.

ESP is 10 rounds

The rules are a lot more relaxed now

The rule used to be the same but I don't see it at all anymore. Section 8.5 https://www.idpa.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2024-IDPA-Rulebook-Master-12-14-23.pdf

Not for Limited Optics I hope

It's helpful for stage planning, figuring out when to move and shoot vs when not to, activator sequences, etc. At least it was for me in the beginning....although there were almost none here when I started. I watched a lot of video then.

My advice would be to start attending matches other than your own match that you run and win. Get a feel for how the local "pros" are shooting and what you need to work on. If any of them offer some coaching on the side, book a day with them, otherwise, find a USPSA oriented instructor to get you started. As others have said, Ben Stoeger has a bunch of media on his youtube page, some are clips of his full classes, some are just rants. Filter out the good stuff (it's very good) and avoid the range politics and his content is terrific. Once you know what do practice and how, dry fire 10-15 minutes a day. You don't need to spend 2 hours daily doing this. If you are gripping the gun hard and properly your hands will be sore after 15 minutes. Where are you located?

So you never shoot any matches with pre registration?

Yep. My CO mags are 24+1 to start, 23 reloadable. This is generally how we refer to capacity.

That last few major matches I've shot it made up 0%

Sorry I meant to delete that part of my post. At first I didn't realize I was looking at Open division scores and just scrolling down, saw Melody Line which had 0 hundos on file and knew that couldn't be right. User error.

For some reason there are a bunch of Open classifiers with no good scores but in CO there aren't any. Should classifiers be based on theoretical performance or prior scores that have actually been shot?
